mqTranslate removing empty paragraphs on post update

I’m using mqTranslate with WordPress 3.9.1, which has TinyMCE 4 by default. Everything was working fine, however, when I installed mqTranslate, every time I update a post, all the empty paragraphs / line breaks are removed, therefore messing up my formatting.
I have found several fixes on google that preserve formatting, however, none are working with the new TinyMCE.

I have the same problem! (even if I disable the editor via setting:
define(‘QT_MIN_SUPPORTED_WP_MINOR_VERSION’, ‘3.8’);
define(‘QT_MAX_SUPPORTED_WP_MAJOR_VERSION’, ‘3.8’);

in mqtranslate.php…

Only if I use a very old not supported editor it works again (Deans FCKEditor for WordPress)..

I really hate all that editor munging qtranslate or mqtranslate do. I use shorctodes and don’t ever want to see a separate window per language. That makes editing impossible and painful if you have more than 2 or 3 languages activated.

I would just love if mqtranslate doesn’t mess with the editor. But well, Qtranslate did so too and with Qtranslate I also lost all empty lines (except if used together with Deans FCKEditor).

Now the even bigger problem with standard editor is. If you disable mqtranslate Editor, via setting unsupported Version – you also loose visual editor. Only html editor available – so that’s not usable at all without switching to another editor…

(of which only Deans FCKEditor doesn’t crash my lines breaks – but therefore now has problems with another plugin).

Nope – all editors that show separate tabs seem to rely on TinyMCE autoformat madness…

E.g. FolioPress shows stuff a bit different (already tries to consider the width of the page and so on), has different more extensive editing tools – but still messes up with Autoformat.

The only working solution for me is Deans FCKEditor plugin – but that hasn’t seen an update since years – so I wonder for how long it keeps working (just noted some bugs on a badly programmed payment plugin – though that’s the first time I ran into a bug with it).

Yeah – and the other solution is to disable visual editor and use html editor. But no thanks – that not my cup of tea for general use.

I downloaded mqtranslate 2.6.6.3 today, and i seem to have the same problem. It destroys the layout of my pages. On some pages it’s not that hard to correct but on the homepage it’s a pain in the neck.

it seems to be a bit better but the </br> are still beeing removed. I haven’t found a solution so far, even though i tried a couple of ideas such as commenting out the line 120 in the mqtranslate_wphacks.php file, doesn’t work.
